RTG (2013-2020)
RTG @ UIC Heading link
MSCS is proud to have received a Research Training Group (RTG) award from the NSF starting in Summer 2013 and running through Summer 2020. This award supported our work in algebraic geometry and related fields, including number theory, complex dynamics, model theory and logic.
This page refers to the first RTG grant awarded to MSCS, and is left to document the activities of that grant. The department holds another RTG grant that started in 2021.
